Chapter 644 - 177: There’s Even Xiao Dai! _2
"An Le, it sounds like you and Yan Huan were really close when you were kids. I’m so jealous. I didn’t have many friends back then."
This isn’t good!
Just as Yan Huan finished ordering his milk tea and put down his phone, Bai Yi brought the topic back again.
No gaps were left even in the illustrations, and An Le immediately rose to the challenge,
"Yeah, actually, I was pretty much the same when I was a kid. Nobody really played with me except for Xiao Huan, who was always there to play with me..."
"Oh, really... So what did you usually do together?"
"Uh... playing house, catching insects, and playing computer games or something..."
As she spoke, An Le’s expression brightened a bit,
"Back then, I was really good at catching any kind of insect, and Xiao Huan was especially afraid of those things, so he admired me a lot..."
"Also singing, he said I had a great voice and that I had the potential to become a pop star when I grew up, even said he wanted to be my first fan... or something..."
Admire you...
Fan...
On hearing this, Bai Yi’s expression stiffened a bit.
Haha, it’s okay, those were just some thoughtless words kids say when they’re young...
How...
How could she take it to heart...
Bai Yi still wanted to maintain her smile, though in reality, she was grinding her molars down to bits.
"Playing house as well..."
Mentioning this, An Le’s cheeks flushed, and her expression became quite bashful,
"Back then, we even played as a couple, a family... but at that time, I really felt like Xiao Huan was like family to me..."
Listening to these words, Yan Huan could barely keep himself from burying into the ground.
The cat on his shoulder turned its head to see his reaction, knowing right away: everything An Le said actually happened.
Heaven knows what kind of embarrassing things Yan Huan and An Le did as kids...
"Such a sinful man, meow."
Yan Huan couldn’t refute the facts, much like Ye Shiyu, whose attention was caught by the keywords in An Le’s words.
Family...
So, you too are Xiao Huan’s family?
Ye Shiyu looked at An Le beside her with a blank expression, not doing anything extra, yet inexplicably giving off a "sharpening knives" vibe.
However, An Le seemed completely oblivious, not noticing the terror beside her at all,
"Back then, I even told my mom that I wanted Xiao Huan to live at our house.
"Mom laughed for a long time, saying I only wanted Xiao Huan to come over to take care of me...
"But now I’ve figured it out that a relationship that’s just about asking things from others doesn’t count as ’family,’ right?"
Hearing this, Bai Yi almost spat out her milk tea.
She lightly coughed, quickly covering her mouth, apologized with a "sorry," and bowed her head.
An Le, I really agree with you on this one.
Those certain perverts who get aroused by their younger brothers, did you hear that?!
An Le, she’s calling you!
"..."
Bai Yi paid no regard to this "temporary ally’s" face, because in comparison, that childhood admiration didn’t have much weight.
But you, Ye Shiyu.
An Le and Yan Huan’s family bond seems much deeper than yours as someone who came later!
When Yan Huan was alone without anyone to care for him as a kid, it was An Le and her family who were always there for him.
You, Ye Shiyu, come around years later claiming to be a "sister," fine...
But you better not get aroused by your own brother!
"Ladies, here’s your milk tea, please enjoy."
A smiling staff member brought over two cups of milk tea, and An Le turned to take her cup, even thanked them.
However, Ye Shiyu sat motionless, staying in her place.
The staff member froze for a moment and then served her the milk tea right in front of Ye Shiyu.
Upon catching a glimpse of Ye Shiyu’s blank face, cold sweat involuntarily broke out on her back.
Clearly, Ye Shiyu had been ruffled by An Le’s subtle taunts but didn’t show it outwardly.
In just a few moves, Yan Huan was at a loss.
The updates were too fast, and Yan Huan, who still had a decade-old fixed impression of An Le, couldn’t keep up.
No way, An Le, are you playing on a borrowed account today?!
It wasn’t always "gummy bear," "I don’t eat cilantro," before?
Why is today’s account "hard candy bear," "I don’t eat beef"?!
"..."
Her fingers gripped the phone with increasing strength, and if there were no outsiders here, she would 100% lose her cool.
Even so, her tense muscles still couldn’t help but want to move closer to An Le.
But in the next second, goosebumps suddenly spread across Ye Shiyu’s arm...
As if reminding her that if she got any closer, something terrifying would happen.
"!!"
Ye Shiyu paused briefly, looking down.
She saw beneath the table, where her hand was about to lift with her phone, An Le’s hand had somehow opened, aimed at her arm.
If Ye Shiyu lifted her hand a tiny bit more, An Le’s hand would come into contact with hers.
And instinct told Ye Shiyu...
Just coming into physical contact with An Le, something very bad would happen.
Ye Shiyu maintained her blank expression as she retracted her gaze, then looked at An Le beside her.
An Le was looking at her, and feeling her gaze, she shyly smiled.
Yet she never avoided eye contact.
"..."
Ye Shiyu squinted her eyes, and her gaze at An Le became increasingly inhuman.
But under the table, the hand beneath An Le’s palm didn’t lift in the end.
Once seeing Ye Shiyu stop moving, An Le finally lifted her hand, gently rubbing her warm milk tea, softly saying,
"Well then... I’ll head back to study first, Xiao Huan, Senior Sister Ye, Bai Yi, good luck on your exams.""
